UB Review

Known by many people as Ultimate Bet, UB is a CEREUS Poker Network skin and features Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke. While the size of UB's player base is out-classed by a site such as PokerStars, there are those that argue that they get a larger percentage of poor players and soft games. So if you're thinking of playing some games at small or medium stakes and want to avoid all the Full Tilt regulars, you should think about trying out UB.

After you download the software, you will be prompted to enter a UB referral code. This is very important because as long as you enter a UB referral code, the poker site will match your first real money poker deposit 111% up to $1,100. You don't want to miss this free money! To clear this bonus, you will need to play a lot of poker and earn Status Points. The higher you play, the more Status Points you earn. The good news is that this bonus is released in $5 portions.

UB's VIP program doesn’t just release your UB bonus, it also earns you additional rewards. The “RAI$E” points system has you earn points which give you reload and monthly cash bonuses. The most exclusive status level is achieved once you earn 10,000 points per month, and this allows you to receive the largest cash bonuses, discounted store merchandise, 9% interest on account balances greater than $1,000, and even poker trips to live tournaments! Climbing the status ladder can yield some fantastic benefits.

I did say that UB doesn’t have the same traffic as Full Tilt and Pokerstars, but I'm not saying that the tables are empty. The CEREUS Poker Network is the third largest in the world, thanks largely to the fact that it’s remained one of the US friendly poker sites. Whether you’re into ring games, single table tournaments, or MTT poker, you’ll encounter plenty of tables if you play small or medium stakes. Unfortunately a high stakes player might need to go elsewhere for action, especially if they play multiple tables at a time.

All in all, if you’re wanting to participate in a bunch of poker at small to mid stakes and you're looking for a site with a fair number of soft games, UB is probably one of the best US poker sites on the internet these days. Earn your deposit bonus, collect thousands of Status Points, and you’ll be rolling in the dough playing poker on UB in no time!
